A Survival Guide to Parliament

A Survival Guide to Parliament is the essential book every parliamentary staffer needs – the book every caffeine-fuelled politico secretly wishes they'd had on their first day in the Palace of Westminster. Ditch the glossy official induction packs: this is the real deal. With details on how to get there, how to survive and how to recover, the guide is packed with practical tips, tricks and plenty of anecdotes to make you laugh and wince in equal measure. Pulling back the heavy velvet curtains to show how Parliament really works – and how the smartest staffers make it work to their advantage – this is essential reading for anyone with an interest in how Britain is really governed. Part handbook, part survival manual, part comic relief, it's a roadmap written by those who've endured late-night votes, survived ministerial meltdowns and lived to tell the tale. Many staffers, past and present, have contributed their highs, lows and nightmares, painting a vivid picture of life in politics. With a mix of humour and hard talk, A Survival Guide to Parliament shows not just how to keep MPs happy but how to stay sane, make allies and maybe even enjoy the ride. Whether you're brand-new or battle-hardened, this guide will be an essential part of your parliamentary toolkit.
